ah, you didn't get the first message.

I received both instantly and I am now worried about an armed gunman in the Dan Allen/ Hillsborough area.

BUT CRIMINALS DON'T EXIST ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. GUNS ARE ILLEGAL ON CAMPUS. BANK ROBBERS WOULDN'T BRING THEM ONTO CAMPUS WHERE CITIZENS CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES

he wasn't actually on campus. but whatever. yes. the answer to gun safety is for everyone to pack heat obviously.

2/16/2010 12:12:08 PM

Don't worry guys, I'm on the case

pretty fucking close... if the guy didn't already come onto campus... or what about students stepping off campus for lunch/banking? their protection can't all of a sudden appear because they're off campus...

and the answer to defending your life against someone who may take yours may be a firearm... better to have the right and chance than not.

2/16/2010 12:14:24 PM

everyone knows college students are broke. the dude is after $$$, why mess with college kids?

2/16/2010 12:16:37 PM

plenty of college kids have rich parents

and iPods

2/16/2010 12:17:15 PM

^
and... if he were running to escape and ends up on campus... maybe he gets defensive... maybe he tries to carjack someone...

2/16/2010 12:18:32 PM

I never get these alerts until hours later

whether by text or email.

Good thing they don't actually matter.

2/16/2010 12:20:47 PM

^^^Why would you carjack someone on campus during school hours? Sitting in traffic for 15 minutes is not going to help you escape.

[Edited on February 16, 2010 at 12:21 PM. Reason : .]

2/16/2010 12:21:27 PM

lol. the point is, you should be able to defend yourself, even on a college campus, because crimes to happen on campus. criminals do come onto campus. armed criminals come onto campus. law abiding citizens with their CHP can carry all around campus, but not on campus... why is there an imaginary safe zone in the minds of you anti-gunners?

[Edited on February 16, 2010 at 12:22 PM. Reason : ^who said criminals were smart? do you ever read up on/watch crime shows?]

2/16/2010 12:22:31 PM

fugitives don't consider traffic

2/16/2010 12:23:43 PM

so anyway

the fewer guns around in general

the safer i feel

true story

2/16/2010 12:23:49 PM

lololol. good luck with that.

2/16/2010 12:24:08 PM

^yet another reason concealed carry should be allowed in banks and on college campuses. if this guy were to get defensive, law abiding and innocent citizens should be able to defend their own lives. thank you anti-gunners for putting my life at risk.

2/16/2010 12:24:19 PM

my words exactly. your point?

2/16/2010 12:24:42 PM

no point, just your words exactly.

2/16/2010 12:25:27 PM

one dude with one reason to shoot

is safer than two dudes with two reasons to shoot

peace

2/16/2010 12:25:41 PM

so you'd take a bullet to the head from 3 feet away because you're scared of shooting someone else?

2/16/2010 12:26:26 PM

yeah, thanks for inferring that instead of putting me through the work of actually typing it

2/16/2010 12:27:38 PM

I was going to return some library books, but I think I'll hold off until this evening. I certainly don't want to get carjacked.

2/16/2010 12:28:23 PM

Agreed. This is why CCW should be allowed here. I would feel a lot safer with my SIG nearby. But alas, it is not.

2/16/2010 12:29:10 PM

let's see when am i more likely to get shot? minding my own business or trying to be a hero against some criminal who probably has no intention of actually using his gun in the first place? hmmmm....

2/16/2010 12:29:44 PM

hey

so i'm not so scared/paranoid/whatever that i need a gun at hand to feel safe

if you scared

get a dog

2/16/2010 12:29:52 PM

so you don't believe in using justified force to protect yourself? if a guy punches you, you don't punch back? if I guy tries to stab you, you wouldn't defend yourself? or would you, but because you know nothing of firearms and defense using them, as well as believing in the myths of the liberal agenda, you would defend yourself until it came time to use deadly force?

2/16/2010 12:29:55 PM

an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind

get out of here with that old testament shit, son

gg on the scary liberal agenda line. NO ONE IS TRYING TO BE A HERO. no one said start a shootout. i said if the guy gets defensive (ie attacks you), then you should have the right and means to defend yourself.

Quote :

i don't believe in that shit... at all... so good try. so what you're saying is, is that you will not, in any situation, defend yourself from physical harm or death?

2/16/2010 12:31:03 PM

can they invent a gun that just helps me run to safety faster or

2/16/2010 12:31:15 PM

because you can outrun a bullet

it is allowed here. as long as "here" isn't on campus or the south sidewalk of Hillsborough

depends.

and i know how to use a firearm. i choose not own one because i don't live in fear and am willing to accept a certain amount of risk in my life as i do every day anyway.

2/16/2010 12:33:45 PM

i thought the street was ok but the sidewalk wasn't. ehhhh its concealed anyway

2/16/2010 12:33:54 PM

Well, that's what I meant by "here" since I'm a student.

2/16/2010 12:34:41 PM

I don't live in fear... but I do like to be prepared.

seatbelts
airbags
smoke alarms
CO alarm
fire extinguisher
cell phone with 911 calling ability when the phone is locked
....

the sidewalk is raleigh property, not NCSU

but i really think that we should work to eliminate handguns as much as we can from this country. it would take a while, but the long-term benefit would be far less murders/innocent bystanders killed.
